State Democrats Criticise Meth»

in Oakland
Lawyers Present Complaint and
Ask Council to Adopt
New System
OAKLAND, Nov. 13. —Asking the
board of supervisors to change Ita
methods of canvassing the ballots after
the official count had been completed,
Attorneys Thomas E. Hayden and Rich
ard H. Bell, representing the democratic
state central committee, argued at
length today over alleged discrepancies
. In the official returns.
Hayden said that in many returns
for precincts he had found that the-to
tal vote credited to candidates was not
borne out by the number of tallies
marked opposite their names. He showed
where republican electors who lead the
list were given the full tally marks
their names, and that the tal
lies equaled the vote credited.
In instance the leading repub
lican elector got 184 votes and the same
number cf tallies, but the last repub
lican elector was credited with 184
votes while the tallies opposite his
name showed not more man 50.
TALLIES FOR KVIDENCE
Hayden contended that the tallies
were the evidence to be considered by
the board In making up the canvass.
Attorney Charles E. Snook, repre
senting the republican county central
committee, disagreed with Hayden.
Snook said the total marked was the
part of the official return which
counted. Hayden and Snook agreed to
argue, the question with the district
attorney, the board to be advised Mon
day of the outcome.
The board completed the canvass at
noon.

GANGSTERS BLAME
UNIDENTIFIED MAN
Alleged Rosenthal Slayers Put
Crime on Mysterious Per»
son Now at Large
NEW YORK, Nov. lb.—The case for
the defense in the trial of the' four
gunmen accused of killing Herman
Rosenthal, the, gambler, was concluded
today.
Nearly a dozen witnesses testified in
support of the gunmen's claim that the
two informers, Harry Vallon and
"Bridgie" Webber, and an Unidentified
stranger had fired the fatal shots at
the gambler; that three of the defend
ants—"Gyp the Blood," "Lefty Louie"
and "Whitey" Lewis — were on the
scene only as innocent spectators, and
that the fourth, "Dago Frank," %as
not there at all.
"Dago Frank" told the story that
purported to be his alibi. He left "Gyp,"
"Lefty" and ."Whitey" at "Bridgie"
Webber's poker" "room just after the
mysterious stranger had invited them
all to go to the Hotel Metropole, where
Rosenthal was slain, to see Jack Rose,
he said. He went to the home of his
girl, Jean Gordon, he swore. When he
got there he found that she had been
arrested, and he went to the police
station to bail her out. It was not
until then that he heard of the murder
of Herman Rosenthal, he said.
Giovanni Stanish, eyewitness for
the state, was called in rebuttal before
court adjourned, and while he was on
the stand Rose, Webber, Vallon and
Schepps were brought into the court
room and lined up against the rail in
front of which tha gunmen were sit
ting. Stanish swore that he had not
seen them at the Metropole.
